KUAC FM will be off the air Wednesday, Oct. 30, for six to eight hours starting around 10 a.m., weather permitting, to tune up its new transmitter and antenna on Ester Dome.

During the outage, listeners can receive KUAC FM by livestreaming at KUAC.org on their computers, smartphones or tablets; tuning into KUAC TV 9.6; using the National Public Radio app on their smartphones or tablets; or asking their smart speakers to play KUAC.

Fairbanks and surrounding communities, along with Nenana, Delta Junction and Healy, will be affected by the outage. Bettles, Eagle, Nome and Tok will still receive KUAC FM over the air.

KUAC is a public broadcasting station operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
